Changes

The Wiimote does not appear to require any of the authentication or encryption features of the Bluetooth standard. In order to interface with it, one must first put the controller into discoverable mode by either pressing the 1 and 2 buttons at the same time, or by pressing the red sync button under the battery cover. Once in this mode, the Wiimote can be queried by the Bluetooth HID driver on the host. If the HID driver on the host does not connect to the Wiimote within 20 seconds, the Wiimote will turn itself off. Holding down the 1 and 2 buttons continuously will force the Wiimote to stay in discoverable mode without turning off. This does not work with the sync button, however. When in discoverable mode, all 4 of the Player LEDs will blink.

HID Interface

== HID Interface ==

The HID standard allows devices to be self-describing, using a HID descriptor block. This block includes an enumeration of reports that the device understands. A report can be thought of similar to a network port assigned to a particular service. Reports are unidirectional however, and the HID descriptor lists for each port the direction (Input or Output) and the payload size for each port. Like all Bluetooth HID devices, the Wiimote reports its HID descriptor block when queried using the SDP protocol. A human-readable version of the block is shown at Wii_bluetooth_specs#HID_Descriptor, and is summarized in the following table:
